# AWS App Mesh

**Website:** https://aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/  
**APIs profiled:** 4

AWS App Mesh is a service mesh based on the Envoy proxy that provides application-level networking to make it easy for services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure including Amazon ECS, EKS, EC2, and Fargate. App Mesh standardizes service communication, giving end-to-end visibility and helping ensure high availability. Note: AWS App Mesh is deprecated; Amazon ECS Service Connect is the recommended replacement for new workloads.
